How do you check blind spots when driving?
What am I supposed to do when my driving instructor tells me to check my blind spots? I’m too nervous to ask her because I think she’ll be annoyed, but I really don’t know what my blind spots are.

There are lots of new terms to get used to when you’re learning how to drive, so try not to worry! In order to check your blind spots, you’ll need to look over your shoulder on your driver’s side, then check
your mirror
on your passenger’s side. Finally, look over your shoulder one more time before making your move.You have to do this because your blind spots are areas that you can’t see on the sides of your car. It’s important to check these spots before merging, changing lanes, or pulling away from the curb because there may be another driver or pedestrian that you don’t see in your path.
Just like checking your blind spots is important to driving safety, having a good insurance policy in place is important, too. Luckily, the
